Jonathan Swan: 本场辩论的重要性在于，仍有大量选民对哈里斯持观望态度，希望了解更多信息，以决定投票意向。特朗普团队的目标是让哈里斯为她和拜登的执政记录负责，特别是通货膨胀、边境问题和国际局势等负面方面。哈里斯团队的目标是将自己塑造成一个变革的候选人，与特朗普的过去形成对比，并展现出作为总统的可能性。哈里斯在辩论中更好地完成了自己的目标，成功地将特朗普激怒，使其展现出失控的一面。 Kamala Harris: 哈里斯在辩论中采取了积极主动的策略，避开了关于自身政策、与拜登的关系以及经济记录的实质性问题，并成功地将特朗普激怒，使其在多个问题上失态。她巧妙地利用特朗普的言论和行为，将其塑造成一个极端、不稳定且不适合担任总统的人。她还强调了自己的价值观，并试图将自己定位为一个团结民众的领导者。 Donald Trump: 特朗普在辩论中未能有效地实现其目标，即让哈里斯为拜登政府的不受欢迎政策负责。他多次被哈里斯的言论激怒，并因此在多个问题上失态，例如在移民问题上散布未经证实的谣言，以及在被问及种族问题时发表不当言论。他未能有效地控制自己的情绪，并因此损害了自己的形象。
